Tallin, Estonia

We arrived in Tallin this morning.  You can see our ship in the background to the left of the tallest steeple.

 We started with a walking tour of Old Town.

Old Town is a wonderful example of Gothic architecture.  There is also a medieval market that has existed for over seven centuries.

We walked through the upper section first.  We saw the Toompea Castle, the Dome Church, St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and the Town Hall.

Then we walked down to lower town.  There we saw the Church of the Holy Ghost and the Great Guild Hall.

After the walking tour we attended an Estonian Folklore show.

The ship was in port only until 3:00pm.  It was a fast-paced tour with lots to see and not enough time.  I definitely want to come back to Tallin and spend more time in this city!
